And so it continues...
Another snow day for Jim and the kids. Here's what accumlated on the picnic table today:
That's about twice as much as there was yesterday. I took Dexter out for a brief walk at lunch, but the snow was blowing in my face, so we turned for home. The accumulation on our house was amazing. I went to the front door to ask Jim to hand me my camera so I could take a picture for you all. But as I was speaking to him in the doorway, there was a sound, a slither and a slump! as all the snow on the roof slid down on top of me and the dog.
I took a picture anyway, and it looks like kids were using our roof as a toboggan run:
We're supposed to get another 10-15cm of snow tomorrow, and the school board has already declared the schools closed. The mayor of London very nearly decided to declare a state of emergency, but didn't. Instead, he's asked that everyone stay home so that road crews can work unhindered.

That is AWESOME. I just love big storms of all kinds...you know, as long as I'm safe and warm and dry in my house and don't have to drive anywhere. :-) You and I are so lucky to work at home. Even if it means we have to work on snow days, it still feels special and exciting. I just browsed the Weather Network pics, which are amazing and yet I know that they don't quite capture the magic that you feel in a storm like this.
ReplyDeleteEn-JOY!
That is an incredible amount of snow, especially for so early in the season! I'm glad the snow slump didn't ruin your camera. Stay warm!
ReplyDeleteWell that looks like some inspiration to knit some fine woollies!
ReplyDeleteThe most snow that's fallen since 1970. Amazing eh?
ReplyDeleteOur snow has started to melt away. Stay warm!
ReplyDeleteWow, that's a lot of snow! Do you get to knit more being stuck home?
ReplyDeleteWhat lovely snow! We've only got about 4 inches in Wisconsin, but we're expecting more this weekend.
ReplyDeleteLondon made the CBC headlines yesterday. You know it is bad when you are one of the lead stories!
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, our Christmas story gets worse. Part 1 was just the warm-up. :-)
